Bolingbroke Grove | Wandsworth | SW11

A six-bedroom end of terrace house built
circa. 1880 was remodeled and refurbished throughout. A new basement was constructed and a
two-storey extension built to the rear.

The ground floor was opened up and
extended to the rear, creating an open kitchen and living space for the family
of five, which opens with glass sliding doors to the garden to create a link
between inside and outside. The space
opens out onto a balcony with an external, covered small seating area, before
steps lead down to the lower patio level. More steps then go down to the
basement patio.

A feature fish tank was built into the
dividing wall between the front drawing room and rear kitchen/dining/living
area – creating a visual connection between the spaces.

The existing cellar was deepened and
extended to provide a full basement with front, rear and side lightwells. A playroom, cinema room, a gym and a guest
bedroom were created in this new space, as well as a utility room and plant
room. The sliding doors from the ground
floor are repeated at basement level, which creates a uniform cohesive
aesthetic across the rear elevation and visually connects the basement and the
ground floor.

The upper floors were reorganised to form
comfortable living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms. The master suite includes a dressing room and
large ensuite, concealed behind a hidden door that is designed to look part of
the fitted cupboards in the master bedroom.
